No. And that's a silly reason, IMHO, if it were true.

If you want to see spam, go to SPAM-L. This is *NOT* a spam list. I
would have thought that that was clear.
Perhaps you will change your mind when the number of spams per day is
about 5 or so. Then, perhaps, you too will "bitch" about it. Perhaps
you are one of the lucky few people who do not have to deal with 5+
spams a day. I suspect you are NOT on SPAM-L and so don't understand
the extent of the problem. Perhaps you would like to deal with the 37
spams I got today. Make that 38. Just 3 lists worth of spam.

Well, that's nice that you are willing to help, as most of us good
folks are, but as a member of this list, you better be damned well sure
that I *WILL* complain - to Eric or anyone else - just as I would expect
my subscribers to complain. While, I too, am firm when need be, I don't
take the starting attitude of my responsibilities being a hassle. I
wouldn't consider myself to be a responsible list owner if my attitude
was that I couldn't be bothered with making my list the best it can be.

It depends, I would assume, if the eye were open.
